Fund Raising
We are only able to sustain the group analytic training programme in India, through fund raising here in the UK for several reasons.
First and foremost, the fees being charged to the Indian candidates, which although considerable from an Indian perspective, are unable to meet the costs of the programme.
Second, even if we were able to raise sufficient money in India through whatever means, the Indian Government prohibits the payment of foreign professionals, particularly by charities like HNI (the institution that is hosting our training in Bengaluru).
It is for this reason that we have to raise funds outside of India.
To this end we have started the charity Group Analysis India (Charity Number 1192636) , the function of which is to raise funds to pay the costs of teachers, supervisors and group therapists.
Many colleagues and well wishers have supported us through one-off or regular monthly donations - for which we are very grateful. However, there continues to be a considerable shortfall.
This event, and others like it, are in the service of this end.

Sigmund Karterud
On personality and personhood in group analysis
Fund Raising Zoom Lectures
Abstract:
The topic of personality has been neglected in all kinds of group psychotherapy. Also in group analysis.
The tripartite theory of matrix defines the personal matrix as one of the constituents. However, it is seldom discussed. The outcome of this sad state of affairs is that group psychotherapy carries outdated theories of personality and thereby obscures the important discussion of change and development of personality by group treatment.
The question is: How can the group analytic concept of personal matrix be reconciliated with the more academic theory of personality and personality disorders? And does it have any therapeutic implications?
During the webinar I will discuss if the concept of personhood might be a briding concept. It adds the component of being a mamber of a given society/group and the implications of citizenship. On the other side, personhood without tha basic constituents of personality (temperament, attachment and mentalizing) risks ending up in obscure postmodernism.
Sigmund Karterud, MD, PhD, is a group analyst and professor of psychiatry, formerly at Oslo University, Norway. He has played a significant role in training, research, and organization of group analytic psychotherapy in Scandinavia. His other publications include books on self-psychology, personality, personality disorders and mentalization-based treatment (MBT).
